Vee is a bilingual Spanish-speaking queer, trans, Indigenous, and neurodiverse licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who is currently receiving supervision toward their clinical licensure (LCSW) under Christine Bakos-Black, LCSW-S in Texas. They are a child of immigrant parents who belong to the indigenous communities Pame (Huasteca Region in San Luis Potosi, Mexico) and Tepehuan (Durango, Mexico). They were raised by their grandparents, tias y tios in their Pame community in Mexico through early childhood. They grew up and live in Houston, TX, and understand carrying multiple identities while assimilating to and challenging American culture, expectations, and norms.
Vee Ramos, LMSW
Vee received their master's degree from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work and completed a macro concentration and focused learning opportunity in Abolition. Working with Vee, you'll aim to co-create a space rooted in authenticity, curiosity, creativity, collectivism, and compassion while integrating cognitive and somatic modalities. Vee believes in meeting clients where they are, that our mental health is not isolated, and that a deeper understanding of the self, community, and environmental systems can empower us all in navigating life.
I will always consider the larger picture:
where folks are, where they want to be, and the pathway to their goals.
